Upon hearing this, Shi Hu glanced at Shi Ming, then turned to look at the distance where Dongfang Long was wiping Haitang's sweat and giving her food. He immediately felt a sense of relief.
“Xiaolong is a good boy and will take care of Tangtang.” Shi Hu felt there was nothing wrong with Haitang treating Dongfanglong as her younger brother.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ming looked at Shi Hu and felt as if he and his brother were not on the same wavelength, as if something was wrong.
He just shook his head and thought, "If other fathers aren't in a hurry, why should I be?"
Shi Hu and Shi Shui drank together. Although they didn't drink much, it was the most enjoyable time they had. Xiao Cao ate cautiously, but gradually relaxed later on.
Did Xiao Cao glance at Xiao He not far away? As Xiao He took care of the child, her gaze held a hint of darkness, which she quickly concealed.
The barbecue at Haitang was almost over, so they sat down a short distance away and started eating. Under these circumstances, Haitang and the others had all eaten and were quite full.
When Xiaocao was leaving, Shiming asked, "Didn't you enjoy your meal just now?"
"No, it's just a bit of a surprise," Xiaocao said, referring to the large amount of food that Haitang's family had brought out to entertain them.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ming smiled and said, "That's all because of Tangtang. She's a good child." Haitang is a good child.
He worked very hard at everything, and more importantly, the other party had a lot of tricks up their sleeve and did a lot of things. He really admired Haitang.
Upon hearing this, Xiaocao nodded. She had some understanding of Haitang. In all the conversations she had heard, Haitang was someone who was incredibly capable and hardworking.
The stepmother ran away with the food, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled behind. In the end, Haitang held on to the situation, and Shi Hu transformed into a beast once again, almost like a myth.
Haitang started tidying up, and Dongfanglong immediately went to help. After Xiaohe and the others finished cleaning up, they went to wash the dishes.
After tidying up, Haitang and the others went straight to sleep. When they woke up the next day, Haitang carried a basket on her back and took the little deer Yueyue out to work.
Yueyue goes everywhere to look around, and puts any delicious food she finds into her basket. The little deer carries two baskets on its back, so if there's extra food, it can fill an extra basket.
Haitang found some Chinese yam this time, planning to roast it and eat it tomorrow. "Third Aunt..." Haitang said as she looked at the grass not far away.
When Xiaocao heard Haitang call her, she led the people around her over. "Haitang...you're here." She was a little reserved, and didn't know how to approach her niece for a moment.
"Yes, we're digging for yams here," Haitang said. Upon hearing this, Xiaocao looked around, and Haitang told her that the roots of the yams looked like this. "They're great for roasting... and of course, they're also very nutritious when cooked in chicken soup."
Upon hearing this, the females looked at each other and nodded. After thanking Haitang, they left. Even if someone tells you something, you can't just dig in that place and expect Haitang to find it in that area.
As Haitang watched the person leave, she shook her head, scooped up a basket, applied the medicine, and prepared to go back. "Sister..." Haitang saw Yueyue running over from not far away. "Sister, look, isn't this the fruit you were talking about?"
Haitang was stunned for a while, then looked at Yueyue holding a jackfruit that was even bigger than herself. "Where did you find it?" Haitang immediately went up to her.
"Ahead," Yueyue said. Haitang put down her basket and walked over. She saw a jackfruit tree on a steep slope.
Haitang immediately smiled. This stuff could be kept for quite a while, and it tasted good. "Take two back, Third Aunt..." Haitang said immediately after looking at the grass not far away.
Xiaocao and the others were stunned for a moment before walking over. The jackfruit on this hillside was quite good; there were several trees. It was impossible for all the crabapple trees to eat them all, as the fruit would rot if left on the tree.
Hearing this, Xiaocao came over, and Haitang said, "Third Aunt, this is fruit, it's edible." Haitang used a fruit knife to cut a slit and scooped out a jackfruit.
Then she took half a bean and ate half a bean herself, and gave the other half to Xiaocao. Xiaocao took a bite and found it quite delicious. "This thing has many pieces in one bean," she said. Hearing this, Xiaocao nodded and looked at Haitang gratefully.
Several people each grabbed a jackfruit. It was so big that it would be difficult for one person to carry it back, but for the sake of food, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered. Haitang and the others were in the same boat.
Haitang took three, Yueyue dragged one, and Xiaolu carried two directly, carrying the baskets in front and behind. Haitang wanted to as well.
Xiao Lu and the others refused. Xiao Lu looked at Haitang, who was also carrying a basket of yams on her back, and said, "You'll lose them halfway like that." Haitang nodded only after he refused.
The female was really too weak. When they got back, the jackfruit had been cut open. Haitang gave it to Xiuxiu, who ate a few pieces while looking at it.
When he went to visit Haitang's house and saw the jackfruit, he nodded at the spot where he had heard the message, "Then I'll take a few females with me tomorrow."
"Okay, take it with you." There's plenty of fruit in this world, so they didn't pay much attention. Around the village walls, the crabapple trees were dug up and planted. At first, people watered them, but now they're left to grow strong.
Seeing that Haitang didn't want to fake it, Xiuxiu took her people there the next day and met Xiaocao. Xiaocao and her group couldn't find anything to eat either, so they could only get some jackfruit. However, there was no conflict between them, but they agreed not to tell anyone.
